With each new season comes a new trend in beauty, but when it comes to eyeshadows, the same colours have been dominating the scene for years. That’s why it’s so refreshing to see a new trend emerging: vibrant colors. From vibrant blues to hot pinks, these popping looks are taking the beauty world by storm. So if you’re looking to liven up your look with some vivid hues, this article is here to help you explore the various vibrant eyeshadow trends popping up everywhere.
1. Taking a Closer Look at the Bright Eyes Trend
Bright eyes are in vogue, and it’s more than just a passing trend. From dark, dramatic smokey eyes to smudged pastel hues, ‘bright eyes’ are beginning to take centre stage as THE look of this summer. Here’s a closer look at some of the hottest ways to wear this trend.
Pop of Colour
A bright eyes look is all about making a statement with your eyes. Forget subtlety, and go for that deep, intense colour impact. Choose shades like pink, purple, electric blue and emerald green, and apply it to your eyelids and/or your lids for maximum impact. Create a cinematic look by blending darker shades like charcoal or black and using your brighter colour on the corners of your eyes. And if you want to go really bold, electrifying golds and silvers are sure to impress.
Smudged Smokey
A slightly softer take on bright eyes is the smudged smokey look. This allows you to keep the drama of a smokey eye, but bring in a bright hue of colour. To master the smudged smokey look, try using bright eyeshadows in ombre and blending with darker eyeshadows, creating a subtle smoky look. If you’re looking for an even more subtle result, try a lighter shade of shimmer.
Soft and Subtle
Bright eyes can also be surprisingly subdued. This can be achieved by focusing on sheer, light tints and using a wash of light, bright colours instead of harsh, intense shades. Here are some of our favorite colours for this look:
- Soft pink
- Champagne beige
- Dusty lilac
- Opal
By playing with these softer shades, you can still achieve the bright eyes look, but in a more subtle, effortlessly elegant way.
2. Embracing Color with a Flair: Exploring Bold Eyeshadow
Experiment, explore, and find what looks good on you – bold and vibrant colors for eyeshadow are a quick way to take your makeup look to another level.
Go Vibrant with Colors you Love.
- Change up your look by playing with a gradient of colors.
- Choose bright shades, like pinks and blues, to create an eye-catching statement.
- Pair bold colors with a complementary shade for a subtle eye look.
A good way to start out is with an eyeshadow primer that will help give your color more staying power. Add a bright hue to the whole lid – as a base – and use a darker shade to lightly blend the edges. Make sure to use an eyeliner to define your lash-line and really make the colors pop.
Adding Sparkle.
- For an extra spark, use some shimmering colors to blend in the corners.
- Coordinate with a glitter eyeshadow color to get a unique look.
- Add white or silver to the corners of your eye for a fresh approach.
When you’re ready to take things up a notch, try combining different colors for a unique expression. Mix together complementary colors to get the look you crave – oranges and purples, blues and greens. Don’t forget to experiment with different textures, like matte and shimmer, for more definition and depth.
3. The Creative Liberation of Vibrant Makeup
Makeup can have a transformative power, allowing you to experiment with and enhance your appearance. It can also be liberating, as you explore your creativity and express yourself. With vibrant makeup, you can push the boundaries of traditional looks and find your unique style.
A pop of color on your eyes or lips can brighten up your look. Try adding a bright red lip or a teal shadow to your eyes. With vibrant makeup, you don’t have to stick to a single look. There are many colors to choose from and they can look just as great together as they do separately.
Embrace the possibilities that come with vibrant makeup. Mix and match different shades of eyeshadows together. Create a monochromatic look with all of the colors of the rainbow. Try a bold winged eyeliner blended with an electric blue hue. Express yourself through vibrant colors!
But don’t be afraid to mix it up! Vibrant makeup looks great with neutrals too. To balance out your look, pair a bright lip color with a smoky brown eye. Or blend an orange shadow with a deep aubergine hue for a dramatic look.
Whatever you choose to do, you’ll find makeup is a powerful medium that can help you experiment, express yourself, and find your personal style. So don’t be afraid to go wild with vibrant makeup and free yourself from the traditional looks you’ve been stuck in. Let vibrant makeup be your ticket for creative liberation.
